Zusammenfassung:The systems and methods described herein disclose localization of a vehicle based on tactile events. As described here, the vibrations produced by objects in an environment as a vehicle encounters them can be used to determine the position and orientation of the vehicle. The systems and methods can include detecting at least one tactile event in an environment, during the operation of a vehicle. A tactile survey map can then be accessed to correlate surveyed tactile events to an event location in the environment. The detected tactile events can then be compared to the tactile survey map. Then, the event location and the tactile correlation can be applied to determine the vehicle location in the environment.
